FALL AND REDEMPTION

 

 

Where Krsna lives, Felicity

Abounds. With all simplicity

and loving sensibility

all serve Him with humility

 

But when a living entity

rejects his true identity

and out of sheer stupidity

surrenders to cupidity

 

He looses all sagacity

and with it all capacity

to understand reality

or check his sensuality

 

Abandonning humility

he touts his own ability

forgetting his fragility

and fortune's volatility

 

Immersed in assininity

for what seems an infinity

of lives devoid of piety

he suffers in anxiety

 

Until contact with God's devotee

perhaps of utmost brevity

awakens his affinity

for words of the divinity

 

Perceiving the futility

of all his imbecility

the soul regains his sanity

and casts away is vanity

 

Endowed with new humility

he serves with all sincerity

and growing spontaneity

his guru and the Deity

 

Regaining his identity

the wayward living entity

returns to the fraternity

of Krsna for eternity
